Adding Google Photos to a Facebook Album: A Simple Guide
Note: If you want to add a single image to a Facebook album, simply click on the image itself to open the thumbnail in full screen.
To add multiple images, follow these steps:
- Repeat the process for each image you want to add to the album.
- Click on the share icon, which is the first one on the right.
- In the pop-up window, click on the Facebook icon.
- Choose “Continue to Facebook.”
By following these easy steps, you’ll be able to seamlessly incorporate your Google Photos into your Facebook album. Enjoy showcasing your precious memories!
Alright, here’s what you need to do. First, pick where you want to share your content. You can choose either “Share to News Feed or Story”. Once you’ve made your choice, click on the “Post” button.
Now, here’s the thing. There’s a small drawback to this method. It doesn’t let you add pictures to a pre-existing album on your account. Keep that in mind.
The Amazing Google Photos App
Hey there, photo enthusiasts! Let me tell you about this incredible app called Google Photos. It’s like magic – especially when it comes to uploading images on Facebook. Trust me, it’s way better than using your regular browser. Want to know why? Well, with the Google Photos app, you have the power to choose which album to upload your photos to. That’s right, you’re in control!
Now, before we get started, let me mention that I’ve tested this method on an iPhone 6S+ running iOS 13. Keep in mind that the app layout might be a bit different if you’re using an Android device, but don’t you worry. The steps are pretty much the same. Let’s dive in!
First things first, launch the Google Photos app and start exploring the treasure trove of images you want to use. Once you’ve found the perfect ones, tap on those three little horizontal dots. Just like magic, a pop-up window appears! Now, go ahead and tap on the Select option – it’s like giving your photos a green light!
To add the images you want, simply tap on them and then select the share/upload button. Look for the button at the top right corner of your screen – it’s the first one there. Once you’ve tapped the button, a pop-up window will appear. From that window, choose the “Share to” option. You’ll see a variety of icons, but you want to tap on the Facebook icon.
If you’re using an iPhone, you may not see the Facebook icon right away in the carousel menu. But don’t worry! Just tap on the “More” option. Scroll down to find Facebook under the “Suggestions” section, and then tap on it. This menu also offers the option to share your Google Photos on other platforms like LinkedIn, Slack, Snapchat, and many other messaging apps.
So, here’s what you can do. Once those sharing windows from Facebook pop up, just give them a little tap. Then, you’ll see an option that says “+ Album”. Go ahead and tap on that, and choose the album where you want to add your photos. And hey, don’t forget, you can also write a little caption for your pictures and pick who gets to see them.
Want More Options for Sharing?
Well, guess what? You can also add Google Photos to your emails and share your awesome pictures with all your contacts. And here’s the really cool part – it’s pretty much the same process whether you’re using the browser or the app. So, we won’t bore you with separate sections for each one – just follow these steps and you’ll be good to go!
If you’re looking for the perfect images, all you have to do is find them and choose the ones you like. Once you’ve made your selection, simply click or tap the share icon. A handy window will pop up, giving you a list of your most recent contacts. Or, if you prefer, you can manually type in an email address in the recipient bar.
Once you’ve chosen who you want to send your message to, you can go ahead and type your note in the “Say something” box. When you’re finished, the person you’re sending it to will receive an email with a preview of the album or images. They can easily click or tap on the link in the email to go to Google Photos and download or edit the images.
When it comes to sharing photos, there’s more than just email. One option that’s really handy is the “Create link” feature. What it does is it generates a special link for the photos you’ve chosen. And the best part is, it’s super easy to copy this link and share it wherever you want – in an email, messages, or any other place that works for you.
Is it Possible to Import Facebook Albums into Google Photos?
The quick response is absolutely, you have the ability to, but it might require extra effort and time that you may not be willing to invest. However, there is an alternative solution if you prefer a simpler approach: you can always right-click on each image, select “Save as,” and then proceed to upload them directly to Google Photos.
If you want to do it differently, you can try using the “Download Your Information” feature on Facebook. Just click on the downward arrow in the top right corner of your screen, and then select “Your Facebook Information” from the menu on the left side. After that, click on “Download Your Information” and make sure to uncheck everything except for Photos and Videos. Finally, click on the “Create File” button.
Once you’ve waited a bit, Facebook will send you a notification telling you that your files are ready. Simply click on the Download button and open the zip file. Now, it’s time to head over to Google Photos. Look for the upload icon and click on it, then select “Computer”. Locate the file with your Facebook images and choose the photos or albums you want to upload.
